Big Data Questions

When people registered we asked them to share the questions they have about Big Data here they are below. Hopefully these questions will be addressed by the attendees gathered at the Big Data Workshop next Friday.

  • Nevermind big data, what about big metadata?
  • How can the enterprise data management industry better serve the web’s data management problems?
  • Interested in developments in the area of big data, what applications have beendeveloped, migration of large structured RDBMS to NoSQL, if transaction based processing is a consideration. This is coming from the perspective of working for a large investment firm and wanting to determine the applicability of these technologies to “”traditional”" RDBMS environments and what other opportunities existfor possible deployment.
  • How can we best evaluate the design tradeoffs underlying different nosql technologies?
  • Will DataWarehouse and Transactional converge?
  • What are people buying today for large DBs?
  • What are current best practices for bioinformatics and sequence analysis?
  • What new data technologies are emerging, being adopted or not?and more importantly, why.
  • Interested in hearing how other people cope with large quantities of data, especially withrespect to storage on Amazon Web Services (S3), doing real-time analytics and such.

We also asked topics people wanted to present about their own work related to Big Data:

  • mongoDB.
  • CouchDB
  • JavaScript
  • Creator of Hypertable, a high performance, open source implementation of Google’s Bigtable. Will  highlight the difference between Hypertable and the otherscalable database alternatives.
  • A super efficient, scalable, database with excellent map reduce properties.
  • Biology: Now Under Moore’s Law — Informatics is now the bottleneck for High-ThroughputSequencing (HTS)
  • HBase
  • How we are implementing data cubes for traffic data and using it for real-time analytics
  • HBase committer so can present on that. Also work with big data at Facebook which I can speakabout in general but not specifically what I work on.
  • Semantic Web technologies and Data Integration
  • Redis via Java client, and its integration with other frameworks in this area
  • upcoming features in Cassandra 0.7 and 0.8
  • interested to see what other people are doing in the field
